We are so incredibly grateful to the very kind support from HANSEN DRAINAGE AND EARTHWORKS LTD from Ruakaka to develop the base for our operational/educational/research facility! Co owner Richard Hansen came all the way over with his 3.5tonne digger and truck, filled with asphalt milling from Northport for 2 days of earthworks...free of charge!! As you can see from the photos, Richard has created a perfect platform for our shipping container site, his work is so neat and of the highest quality...he really knows how to use that machine. I am not usually a commercially focused person but it would be awesome if you could consider using Richards company if you are in need of a quality contractor in the future.

You will also notice that Shaun Robinson from MANAIA EXCAVATORS supplied his truck and driver to cart 2 loads of aggregate to the site from his yard. The 16m3 of aggregate was very kindly donated by WINSTONE AGGREGATES Whangarei and delivered to Shaun's yard.

Again all this donated kindness was organised by NORTHPORT staff, who are also donating a 20ft shipping container for our office. The container will add to our other two 20ft containers and make a very stylish U shaped facility with a cedar deck in between them- boom! As you can tell I am so darn excited about this project...it will be so good to welcome back volunteers and researchers with a clean facility and a cuppa. It will also be a wonderful place to talk/guide students and hold training and celebration events. Plenty yet to do but we have a great foundation now. Of course we are so grateful again to Alphonse Van Polanen Petel for allowing all this to happen on his land...what great community vision! cheers. Adam and the team. ...
